Gerges Ghaly - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to manage, deploy and use
There were some issues I was facing where some users didn't get applied for a policy and the updates didn't send out. For example, If I changed the job title, it's not automatically updated and I have to make sure that the information is corrected. So sometimes it happens that when I log in, the script is wrong, so I have to remove the signature and make it update again. I think that the performance could be better and so could the auto-updates when filling in new columns and information.
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that provides businesses the ability to create and secure documents whenever needed
The administrative user interface used to create users and track templates and envelopes for our product is outdated. Now we're on the AssureSign side and not the Nintex side, so I don't know if they are different products. If Nintex AssureSign is one product, then they have given it an outdated feel and look. If I had more experience with other similar programs, like DocuSign, that I used years ago, I might have been able to give more concrete or better feedback on what additional features are to be included in the tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Adobe Sign is a reliable product with good support and a continuous improvement process in place."
"Adobe Sign is highly reliable and offers additional features such as 25-year retention filters and audit capabilities."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"The ability to sign digitally is very convenient."
"It makes it very easy to sign documents."
"The most valuable aspect of Adobe Sign is not a single feature, but rather a combination of features. From a broad perspective, the failover system is particularly noteworthy. In the event that Adobe Sign experiences downtime, there are backup measures in place through Amazon AWS that ensure continuity. For instance, if one region experiences an outage, another region can take over seamlessly, which is a significant advantage."
"I would recommend this solution to other people. It is an easy-to-use solution and one of the best."
"Regarding the most valuable feature of the solution, I would say that it is easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten because they really help us."
 

Cons

"It is hard to keep up with continuous improvements."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The solution's UI can be made simpler and easy to use so that I can have the option to make changes if needed."
"The price of the solution could improve for certain plans."
"The support could improve in Adobe Sign."
"One limitation of Adobe Sign is the restriction of adding only one email address for an Adobe Sign account. This can cause issues at times because Adobe Sign does not permit multiple signed accounts with the same email address."
"I think that the performance could be better and so could the auto-updates when filling in new columns and information."
"Currently, merge mapping can only be done within a specific object. If we want to do a merge mapping for related objects, we need to create a lot of automation."
"The solution's initial setup process was a bit complex…The administrative user interface used to create users and track templates and envelopes for our product is outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The free edition allows us to use the signature feature."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the pricing of the entry-level plans. If you have minimal requirements for electronic signatures, the initial plans may not be suitable for SMBs as they may appear expensive. However, once you start using Adobe Sign, you can see a positive return on investment. Nonetheless, the pricing of the entry-level plans could be improved to cater to businesses with lower signing needs."
"Adobe Sign is not expensive, but it is premium-priced based on the specific features required. The value you get from the numerous features and free unlimited support, including expert advice, is worth considering when looking for value for money. Unlike licensed components, when you purchase Adobe Sign, you're not just buying support; hence, you won't be faced with any unexpected licensing costs for additional support."
"As of now, there are no monthly expenses involved in the solution."
"AssureSign offers comfortable prices that are more affordable for clients. This is why many clients are attracted to AssureSign, as it is a cost-effective tool."
